Champagne? Opening the front and back doors to let the old air out and new air in? Will the new air really be any better?
I won’t celebrate. Not because I’m not pleased, but because the fight is not over, and unfortunately, many who “woke up” to fascism thanks to Trump will happily go right back to sleep and stop voting and stop caring, which helps the fascist Republicans continue to attack our democracy.
Trump is evil, but it’s not like he’s the only evil man in a sea of reason; Republicans are fascists and in many ways (i.e. sans dementia) as bad or worse.
Also, depending on how he dies, his cult will absolutely go bug-fucking bonkers, making him into a martyr, or maybe it’ll spark violence. It is unlikely to end well.
He’s a symptom, not the cause.
He’s arguably doing more damage to the fascist movement than he is supporting it lately. I think they will be the ones celebrating when he is gone, but they will not stop pushing fascism. The infection has metastasized extensively, and once he is gone it will really get to work.
It’s sort of like a cancer patient having a tumor removed. There’s still a long road ahead to recovery, and plenty of opportunities for new tumors to replace it.
So I’m going to breathe a sigh of relief, take a few moments to enjoy the reduced weight of the world, and then prepare for the next steps.
I plan to book/get a tattoo that reads “I outlived the clown” under a cute clown face. I’m a circus performer so it’ll be a fun talking point
We’re going to be waiting a while.
When we see him coming out with sunglasses, and perched up between two guys who are suspiciously close to him, only then can we estimate the time down to a couple of hours (depending on how many ads for Goya beans there are).I have a bottle of champagne earmarked for him, Netanyahu, a US destroyer or capital ship, or maybe a B2 bomber.

I’ve fantasized about which meme to post countless times
A long time ago i bought the cheapest bottle of sparking wine i could, my friends know i have it too - when it happens - well meet and open the bottle, cheer and weep, and prepare for whatever happens next
Not a thing. I won’t do a single thing differently other than a sigh of relief. Then I’ll get back on with my day.
He wants nothing more than to be remembered. To be the center of attention.
I won’t give them any more power over my life than they have already stolen.
I get that. Personally, Im going to celebrate to take back some of the energy he has sapped from my life. A spite-lebration.
Alcohol, music.
Judging by the size of the no kings protests, I expect there will be literal celebrations in the streets like at the end of Return of the Jedi
Maybe much the same as when we last had a general election in the UK.
Documents from bygone eras talk about a concept called “hope”. Sadly, knowledge of what that concept actually represented has been long lost to the mists of time.
Wait about three seconds before everybody finds their next excuse to be the shitty version of themselves.
